It’s time for another group posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group! founded by Alex J. Cavanaugh. Time to release our fears to the world – or offer encouragement to those who are feeling neurotic. If you’d like to join us, click on the tab above and sign up. We post the first Wednesday of every month. Your words might be the encouragement someone needs. You can also join us on twitter using the hashtag #IWSG, or on the Facebook page.
Now, IWSG hosts have changed up the format in an effort to make it more fun and interactive. Every month, they will announce a question that members can answer in their IWSG Day post. These questions may prompt you to share advice, insight, a personal experience or story. Include your answer to the question in your IWSG post or let it inspire your post if you are struggling with something to say.
Don’t forget to visit others that day to see their answers. Want to join, or learn more? Visit our - Sign-up List.
SEPTEMBER QUESTION - What are your thoughts on using AI, such as GPChat, Raptor, and others with your writing? Would you use it for research, story bible, or creating outlines\beats?
MY ANSWER: AI can be extremely useful for research, examples, and inspiration. The problem I have is when people rely on it to be lazy - they just recycle instead of using their own brain. People automatically trust it to be accurate. However, a recent study by Tow Center for Digital Journalism found AI to be inaccurate about 60% of the time. I also hate how often people (students in particular) try to pass it off as their own creation. Not only is this plagiarism, but they are also shortchanging themselves the ability to learn and use critical thinking skills which we all need.
How about you? What are your thoughts on using AI, such as GPChat, Raptor, and others with your writing? Would you use it for research, story bible, or creating outlines\beats?
